Chapter 703: Chapter 704 So Expensive to Inlay Gold_1 Chapter 703: Chapter 704 So Expensive to Inlay Gold_1 Old Li knew that the little girl still had some business to attend to, “Let’s go, kid, we need to talk.”
The director was more than relieved, “Old Li, I couldn’t agree more.”
The two left the patient’s room.
Wang Meng’s parents finally arrived.
“Wang Meng, we’ve hopped over to see you.” Wang’s father knew their trip to Kyoto was for his eldest son to also bring their two younger sons to the factory. But their plans fell out of place with Wang Meng’s accident, and all his wife could think about was money.
“Director, these are my father and stepmother.” Wang Meng introduced his parents to Meng Yunhan with a frosty demeanor.
Wang’s mother wanted to rebut, but had no words to defend herself; she was indeed a stepmother.
“Wang Meng, mind your language!” Wang’s father berated sternly.
Meng Yunhan turned to them, “You must be Wang’s parents. We should discuss the compensation for Wang Meng’s road accident now.”
Wang’s mother was quite agitated, “Considering Wang Meng’s current condition, compensation is warranted. We’re not greedy, a few thousands will be fine.”
A few thousand, she made it sound so effortless.
In this era, the salary of a worker is only about thirty to forty. A few thousands for compensation is indeed an outrageous demand.
Wang Meng was fuming, his face flushed with anger.
“Please specify a particular sum.” Meng Yunhan said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Wang’s mother contemplated for a moment, “Five thousand.”
Meng Yunhan sneered, “Fine, we’ll settle for five thousand. But you should know my truck costs ten thousand, which was ruined in the accident. So, according to your logic, shouldn’t you compensate me for it? After deducting your compensation, you’d still owe me five thousand. I hope I’ll receive it soon, it’s not a large amount, I’m sure you can arrange that swiftly.”
Wang’s mother asked in surprise, “Is it made of gold to cost that much?”
Meng Yunhan replied calmly, “If you don’t believe me, I have the receipt which clearly states the amount.”
So it was all about the money. Initially, Wang’s mother was sympathetic towards Wang Meng and was nice enough to negotiate the compensation, but now she would even prefer giving the money to Wang Meng rather than to his parents.
Wang Meng hung his head low. When he started driving this truck, he was agitated, knowing it was costly. It was probably this agitation that got him into this trouble.
“Wang Meng, take some rest. Your mother and I will bring some food for you.” Wang’s father said, leading his wife away.
Upon hearing this, Wang Meng was silent for a while before he said, “Director, I will try my best to repay.”
Meng Yunhan sighed, “You are an adult. Every family has its own problems to worry about. The truck can be sent back to the repair shop, but right now the most important thing is that you’re okay. The way I put it just now was just to see how much you matter to your parents. The only thing you need to focus on now is to recover from your injuries.”
Wang Meng nodded, “Director, don’t worry. My leg will heal soon.”
Meng Yunhan poured a glass of water for Wang Meng, “Drink some water first, and I’ll find someone to take care of you.”
Meng Yunhan helped Wang Meng drink water and brought lunch for him, along with some fruits and a new pack of milk.
Zhang was quick to return.
“I’ve figured everything out.” just as these words left Zhang’s mouth, he saw Wang Meng watching him with widened eyes.
It now seemed like he didn’t really need to explain further, the director had probably figured it out as well. The most update n0vels are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
“Zhang, is there anyone in the factory? Assign someone to take care of Wang Meng for a month.”
Zhang thought for a moment, “There’s a repairman, we can send him. He is also from Wang Meng’s hometown.”
“Wang Meng, get some rest.”
